FreePOOMA build and test guide

This page is a guide to building the FreePOOMA parallel object-oriented code and running its test programs.

There is currently no FreePOOMA distribution which is usable with GCC 3.4 and up. You need to get a checkout of CVS HEAD.

Testing FreePOOMA

To checkout and configure the source code, compile the library, run the testsuite and build example and benchmark programs, use:

• Checkout the sources:
  • export CVS_RSH="ssh"
  • cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.nongnu.org:/cvsroot/freepooma co freepooma
• Change directory to the repository thus created:
  • cd freepooma
• Configure for using gcc:
  • export POOMASUITE=GCC
  • ./configure --arch LINUXgcc --serial --opt --cpp g++-3.4
  Substitute g++-3.4 with the compiler to use. Adjust CFLAGS in the config/arch/LINUXgcc.conf file.
• Build the library:
  • make
• Run the testsuite and compare with baseline:
  • make -k check 2>&1 | tee testresults-GCC
  • diff -u testresults testresults-GCC | grep '^[+-]PASSED\|FAILED'
• Build examples and benchmarks:
  • make examples
  • make benchmarks

In case of build problems consult the build log files called test.o_APP.info for compilation and test_APP.info for linking. If unsure ask someone who can diagnose and fix the problem.

Cleanup

Before rerunning tests be sure to wipe out existing files using make cleansuite. Then start over with configuration.
